Sen. McCain laid out a bold vision of what he intends to accomplish during his first term in a new web ad.

(CNN) – On the same day that Sen. John McCain gave an ambitious speech laying out what he intends to accomplish by the end of his first term in office, his campaign released an accompanying Web ad dramatizing those hypothetical achievements.

McCain, the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, has been touring fall battleground states for the past several weeks while he lays out his policy proposals and reaches out to constituencies he will need to win the White House in November.

Major flip flop of the campaign so far! McBush sees his campaign going down the tubes before it ever gets out of the gate and so knocks off 95 years of his original boast of 100 years. McBush, what a dofuss!

Edwards Is The Obama " TYPICAL HYPOCRITE " That Endroses His Campaign .
Obama Can't Get The White Blue Collar Vote , And has Block Michigan , And Florida From Having A Re-Vote ..
That is Why Obama Is In Michigan With Edwards , Trying To Fool Us Into Voting For him . It Will Not Work !!!!!
I WILL NOT Vote For Obama , He's Doing NOW ! Just What " GEORGE BUSH " Did , STARTING ANOTHER CAMPAIGN , BEFORE THE FIRST CAMPAIGN IS OVER !!!
Voting For Obama Is Like Voting For GEORGE BUSH !!!!!!!!!!

NO OBAMA !!!!!!

HILLARY , Or McCAIN 2008

I don't think Senator McCain would be able to accomplish all these things in a short four years. For the most part, the things in the list require longer-term solutions (but in fairness, for example, it does say "advance energy independence" as opposed to "achieve"). If he is elected, I could only hope that things do work out that way, and that there's nothing to worry about concerning the big joke about bombing Iran, not knowing anything about the economy, etc.

While I appreciate the suggestion that we could be out by 2013, it is exceptionally naive to believe the the Middle East will be stabilized by then. There has been fighting in the Middle East for literally thousands of years and we aren't going to change that anytime soon!

I love crystal ball proposals. I thought only gypsies believed in crystal balls.

Mc Cain and Hillary are both delusional. What about putting them on the same ticket?

Old John, Poor John
He has lost his way and his brain's all gone.
Poor Old John who can see a future, a time that cannot be.
For he has lost his way and his memory
Is there anyone who cannot see
That there will soon be senility
For dear poor old John.
Who's lost his way and his brain's all gone

I wonder what 1-900 number he called for his 2013 physic reading. Wonder if the physic reading told him how bad he will lose this fall.

Hillary has 3 cajones
McCain was thought to have lost his bearings but Lie-berman checked them and they appear to be intact alongside his crystal ball

Sorry but I am I reading too much into this? McCain probably doesn't want to compare anatomy to Obama ...
